Memorial day weekend: Three Montreal girls in New York city!

At the High Line

I have known X and H for almost a decade now and they are still as
vibrant and energetic as the first time I met them back in cegep.
We all grew up and attended school in Montreal but now, we find ourselves in
three different cities. H is happily settled in Montreal with a great
job and amazing house while X also works a good job and just building a
new life in Toronto. Happy.

At the high line

Spending time with these girls has reminded
me once again to grab life opportunities by the balls and take advantage and enjoy
everything life throws at you. These two certainly have taken control of
their lives and seem to be content in every aspect of life. It is
contagious and I'm glad to know them and call them my friends.
When they planned a trip to NY to celebrate both their birthdays,
I was gleeful and could not wait to find out their plans so I can tag
along. They were here for the city but also for discovering the salsa
culture New York has to offer. I did not attend the salsa meet-ups they went to or
stay out every night dancing until the wee hours (4 a.m.!). but
together, we did visit the High Line
park, check out Williamsburg eats and shops, eat ramen at Momofuku noodle bar, watch
Hanyue street salsa at the Loisaidas street festival and finally, eat
cupcakes at Sugar Sweet Sunshine. All these things I've done before but
it's better with enthusiastic friends for sure!
